The Kerouac Connection

According to letters published by Ann Charters, Jack Kerouac once called Hartford his home. He lived just off Franklin Avenue in a building that has since been torn down, and he commuted via bus to a job in Manchester.

Although we can't say what effect this short stay had on his future writings, I think Hartford is missing a golden opportunity. After all, Jack was the original. Hartford Hep-Cats, anyone?
